For those select few that have an iPhone

You have a few options:

  • be EU citizen and sideload a cracked YouTube (similar to vanced, but you need certificates on iOS which sucks)
  • pay for a dev account and sideload regardless of above
  • buy two apps: vinegar and AdGuard. AdGuard speaks for itself, vinegar is a tool that forces YouTube to use the html 5 player inside of safari and thus forcing it to your will

I know iPhones are hated here, but I saw the android will stop sideloading coming from a mile away. At least here in the eu apple can suck one and I can still sideload whatever I want

I just use Brave on iOS. It works fine for YouTube.

You can sideload up to three apps without a paid dev account, they just expire in 7 days. Use something like AltStore (or better yet SideStore) and you have an easy way to install and re-sign two other apps. They also have the ability to essentially “offload” apps so you can have more than two other sideloaded apps, but only two can be active at a time (other than the signing app)

Yeah or services as Signulous could take a bit of strain away if you don’t want to be limited by the 7 days and 3 apps limit

Vinegar seems awesome. Thanks! Also, the dev’s other apps are pretty amazing too!

[–] moonburster@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

Thanks! Will look into the other apps too!
